PTC has released Creo 2.0 M230 is the most robust and versatile parametric solid modeling solution for Computer Aided Design. For those still clinging to Pro/ENGINEER Wildfire 5, it may have just the right gleam to get you past the rebranding/restructuring brought out with Creo 1.0.

PTC made a huge noise about the launch of Creo, how it was promising a revolution in 3D modelling tools for design and engineering. The reality is that Creo is more an evolution of the existing Pro/E, CoCreate and ProductView products. Both are merging into a new set of tools that are based on the power of capability of Pro/E, but with some of the advantages of direct modelling from the CoCreate product set.The Creo 2.0 release shows that the promise is being fulfilled and the work is being done to bring greater direct modelling tools, both into the core parametric environment with Flex Modelling and FreeStyle, but also in the Creo Direct standalone application.Those looking for a complete overhaul of the existing user experiences are going to be a little disappointed. This still looks and feels like Pro/E, albeit with a ribbon-style interface. Is that a good thing? Well, that depends on your perspective.Experienced Pro/E users will be happy with how things are progressing. The core interaction elements and workflow remain the same and the commands and operations are very neatly and sensibly organised into separate tabs. But, if you're looking at the system from the purview of another system, then things might still look a little arcane.PTC enables manufacturers to achieve maximum value from their product strategies with software and services designed to optimize key business processes throughout the entire product lifecycle - from conception and design to sourcing and service.
